What is the name of this Church ?

Tom Butler...

My reaction to your answers to Grace & Truth is the same as hers. The scriptures you quoted don't support your view regarding membership in the U-Church.

Actually, they do...but you have every right to your opinion

They deal with something else entirely.

No, I'm afraid they do fit.

Simply saying something is so does not make it so.

Of course not. Thats why I have used scriptural support.


Good day! :wavey:

Thank You![/COLOR]


Sometimes its called the Kingdom, or the Body of Christ. Universal church is just another name for it.

You still have not proved this. Do you have a verse to support the fact that the Kingdom and the Church are the same thing?

Because the Kingdom, or Gods family, is world wide. Not just your little local church or my little local church or Dr walters little local church

We are a world wide presence here on this earth.

Yes but only in Local Assemblys.

Jesus is the one who said....

Why didnt He say: "I will build my local churchs"???

Why did He not say "I will build "MY Universal Church"????

Instead of using the word "church" use the words "Called out Assembly" what Jesus is saying is that He would build His (My) Called out Assembly. Please explain how a U-Church can assemble? Jesus is distinguishing His "Called out Assembly" from all other called out assemblies, such as town meeting etc.

The universal church IS in one place...

Here on earth. :1_grouphug:

Working together. :thumbs:

"Church" works for a local church context, and it also works in a world wide context.

Well actually "Called out Assembly" dose not work for a U-Church that never assembles. If you read each verse and instead of reading the word "church" read "Called out Assembly" you will see that it fits every time and referrs to a Local Called out Assembly." It is true that one day Jesus will call us all out of this world, but then and only then will we all be assembled together. But until then we will never on this earth assemble together. I honestly cannot find any reason for a U-Church or any verse that there is such a thing.

Grace and truth,,,

"Why did He not say "I will build "MY Universal Church"????

He did.

..And upon this Rock (faith in Christ)..I will build my CHURCH

There is ultimetly only ONE church here on this earth. Jesus said it....not me. You will have to take your argument up with Him.


The ONE CHURCH is made up of multitudes upon multitudes of individual local congegrations.

All of these individual congregations are "assembled together" here on planet earth. Working together to win converts and further Gods Kingdom here on earth.

Its just so simple, and so very scriptural.

Praise the lord for His wonderfull provision.

He did.

Oh I guess I missed where Universal was found in scripture....


There is ultimetly only ONE church here on this earth. Jesus said it....not me. You will have to take your argument up with Him.

Which one is it "The Church at Jerusalm" "The Church of Rome" The Church at Ephesus" etc.

The ONE CHURCH is made up of multitudes upon multitudes of individual local congegrations.

Which verse teaches this????

All of these individual congregations are "assembled together" here on planet earth. Working together to win converts and further Gods Kingdom here on earth.

When do all of these Churches assemble together with each other????? My Church has never assembled with all other Churches in the World....or did we miss the assembly...

Its just so simple, and so very scriptural.

Praise the lord for His wonderfull provision.

I just can't find these verses that teach that there is a U-Church, Still waiting for them.

Spend time in the scriptures. I am not your teacher, I can only post the scriptures, as I have consistently done.

God is ultimetly our teacher. He teaches through the scriptures, with the Holy Spirits guidance.

Grace and Peace.

I did not expect you to be my teacher....I just do not think you proved your belief with the scriptures you presented. No problem I have studied this subject and am convinced that my position is scriptural. We will just have to agree to disagree. But you are right :godisgood:
